Brownish gold. Oxidized. Some dried fruit, nuts and caramel. With some air it has the potential to please someone looking for sherry, but otherwise this has just continued to disappoint vs. its spectacular showing when first bottled. D

Wine in the Sunshine State; 2/20/2020-2/23/2020 (Florida): This is back to that 'wow'. Incredibly fresh and complex and honey and a hint of carmelization and a bigger and rounder white but there's still some acid here. Drinking super well. Makes me wonder if it will be time soon to pull our last bottle.

Color is a beautiful deep yellow/gold. Sauturnes like in appearance. Nose is an explosive melange of almond paste, marmalade, orange peel and tropical fruit. Nice amount of oxidization. Palate is viscous but well balanced delivering layers of dried peach, apple, brioche and almond. Dry and acid driven, but has a nose that suggests sweetness. Really interesting wine.

(Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Cuvée Roussanne Vieilles Vignes) Medium golden color; oxidized, sherry and hazelnut nose; tangy nutty and sherry flavors on the palate, with light medium oily texture, but also possibly some TCA taint sapping what should have been a richer, more complex palate; medium finish

Glorious. At full power, oxidative but lively and explosive with full ripe white fruit and a touch of passion fruit. Oily, rich and long.
